Genealogy Gangster Foundation Updates

Greetings,

I am so happy to make some of the announcements I’m about to share. First, i want to thank you all for your continued support; it is because of people like you that help us exist. We have sat down and created a plan to hold four camps this year. We hope that you can spread the word about this to others. The Camps will be held

October 7th – Downtown Denver

October 21st – Aurora, Colorado

November 18th – Montbello

December 9th – Five Points Neighborhood

We need your support to hold these camps. They are not free, and we aim to provide these camps to the children free of charge. So we are holding an online raffle at RaffleRiver which is a secure operator of raffles. We have two prizes available in the raffle.

Prizes

Enjoy a 4 Night Hotel Stay in Las Vegas, Nevada

Our first prize is a trip to Las Vegas Nevada. Enjoy a four-night hotel voucher on us! Airfare not included!

Enjoy a three-night vacation voucher to California, Airfare for two and Hotel included.

Consolation Prize

We are thankful for your support and to show our thanks we would like to extend to you a 2 Night Hotel Voucher courtesy of The Green Team! Once you enter the raffle, you will be emailed your voucher within a week!

Enter Our Raffle

Enter our raffle by going to the following web page.

How will we use these funds?

We will use these funds to first pay for our fiing fees for our 501(C)3 status for the IRS. The funds remaining will be used to purchase 3 refurbished laptops which the youth will use at each camp to do the research along with the teacher! We hope you can support and once we have the addresses nailed down we will let you know so you can tell youth in your neighborhood.

Summer Camp Needs – Help us with our first genealogy event!

Our Summer Camp – August 4-5, Denver Colorado

We will be hosting our first annual Genealogy Gangster Summer Camp, August 4-5 in Denver, Colorado. Our goal is to accommodate 6-15 teens who want to get a start on their genealogy. We will introduce them to family history and genealogy and help them research their family trees.

We Need Your Help!

This program is hopefully going to be provided to these teens at no cost as we desire to reach at-risk teens from the east Denver and montbello-green valley ranch neighborhoods. We hope to provide the teens with a T-Shirt to remember the experience and we also hope to provide snacks for the camp. We also need to purchase six to twelve laptops (older models but with current internet browsers and wifi access) for the teens to do the work on. So how can you help?

1.) You can make a secure donation online on PayPal at PayPal.me/downtowngreens any donation would be of help to us.

3.) Boost the signal! Please share this post on any websites and social media that you can. These kids could benefit from having a sense of identity for themselves. They have the ability to grow and be stronger members of the community because they will know what stock they come from. And we hope to inspire them to be interested in genealogy!

We hope you can help! Thank you for your time!

Sincerely,

Kenneth Green

Executive Director

P.S. We are still looking for members for our Board of Directors if you are interested in being a member please contact our executive director Kenneth at the email above or the contact sheet below!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

March 3, 2017

FIRST CLASS ANNOUNCEMENT

Genealogy Gangster Announces First Workshop

Denver, CO, March 3, 2017– The Genealogy Gangster foundation is proud to announce our first introductory class to be held on the first Saturday of April hopefully at the Park Hill Library located at 4705 Montview Boulevard in Denver Colorado. Our classes are free to the public however, we will take any love offering that the community wants to offer for our time and effort. In our first class, we will teach introductory techniques where youth can research using family search and family tree websites. We hope to have one basic class per month and one advanced class per month to start out with. Once we have more staff and more of a following from the youth in the community we will hold more classes more often.

“We hope to begin educating the next generation piquing interest from the youth in Genealogy.” – Kenneth Green, President

We hope to begin having these classes twice a month and develop a mobile computer lab that is composed of several computer labs allowing youth to eventually operate the computer labs themselves. “Teaching the next generation to love genealogy!” – Kenneth Green
